Monitoring nerves and breathing during gastric bypass surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study uses special monitoring to better understand nerve and breathing-related signals during elective gastric bypass surgery. It may help surgeons and anesthesiology teams improve safety and care for future patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be older than 18 years
- You must have an elective laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery scheduled
- You cannot be pregnant at the time of the study
- You should not be incarcerated (prisoner status excludes participation)
- You should not have significant lung disease (like asthma or COPD) needing regular medication
- You should not need supplemental oxygen before surgery to keep oxygen levels up

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a drug called sugammadex to help patients wake up faster from anesthesia after weight-loss surgery. It is for people with severe obesity who are otherwise healthy enough for surgery.
This study compares two ways of monitoring muscle relaxation during anesthesia for people with obesity having weight-loss surgery. The goal is to see which method works better and may help improve safety.
This study compares two different monitors that measure how deeply your muscles are relaxed during long surgeries (over 3 hours) like laparoscopic, robotic, or chest surgeries. The monitors help the anesthesia team keep you safe and comfortable.
This study compares two methods of monitoring how well muscle relaxants are working during non-cardiac, non-chest surgery. It aims to find which method helps doctors manage these drugs better and improve recovery.
This trial tests a nerve-monitoring method during elective surgery to track how well muscle-relaxing medications are working. Doctors will place small sensors on your arms to measure nerve and muscle activity, which may help them give you the right dose of anesthesia.
This trial tests a special nerve stimulation technique (100 Hz tetanic stimulation) to see if it can help monitor muscle function during anesthesia. It might help doctors make sure patients are properly relaxed during surgery.
